Advanced Frames

Nested Frames

Up until now, what you've seen and done is frames is not
that exciting. The reason for that is frames are not the
easiest thing to master in web design. In fact, there are
specialists who do contract work ($50 an hour or more) JUST
building complex frame structures.

Before you start printing out copies of your resume, let
me show you what a complex frame structure looks like. Click
here to go to the website of the aptly named
"Frames" musical group. I have no idea whether
they are good at music, but their frames are quite
excellent. After you prowl around (don't forget to look at
the source code) just close the window to return to the
lesson.

What you are seeing is frames within frames, combined
with some Javascript to make the MOUSEOVER affects. In other
words - something you will know how to do by the time you
finish this course!

For the rest of this week, keep your eyes open while you
wander around the Internet, looking for frame pages. Any
that look easy enough for you to do - pat yourself on the
back for your learning! Any that look challenging, open the
code and take a look, see if you can figure out just how
they made it look that way.
